Aerocar was the closest so far.
It contains as many correct letters than the following 'Aircars' guess but they are both wrong.
Not Aerocarro. It is (was) an Italian project but the name doesn't sound italian.

Aviocar by Sergio Petrella?

Paul Jaray

Aviocar is correct.
I wrote I wouldn't lock it for the name but I think you found something.
Not Sergio Petrella, I'm looking for Company's name.
(I think you made a mixture of some of the real names involved or present in some sources where this car is featured  ;))
Locked for you.

Centro Italiano di Ricerca Aerospaziale (CIRA) disegned the AvioCar under the Sergio (typo) Vetrella's presidency.

"The Center for Aerospace Research located in Campania is one of the institutions that suffer cuts to funds advanced by the Government. CIRA is a joint venture corporation, today a majority public: the State, through the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the National Research Council (CNR), has, in fact, the majority with 52% of the share capital, which also participate in the Campania Region (16%) and the main Italian aerospace companies. The state has entrusted CIRA is responsible for defining and implementing the National Program for Aerospace Research (PRORA) that annually is supported with funding from the Ministry of Education."

I don't know if AvioCar was built by this joint venture or a private company. All sources show rendering designs and talk about CIRA.
If this info is not right, please unlock.

All correct!
The missing bit was CIRA and of course it remained a project.
Point for you and for Hermanoto.
